KAN-therm reducing tee 32/16/32 PP, model 1209257016

KAN-therm reducing tee 32/16/32 PP is a polypropylene fitting designed to connect three pipe runs while reducing the branch diameter to 16 mm. Intended for use in plumbing, heating and distribution manifolds, this reducing tee provides a stable threaded-free connection for water and low-pressure heating systems. Made of chemically resistant polypropylene, it offers low thermal conductivity and reliable dimensional stability when installed with compatible KAN-therm PP piping.

Advantages

The reducing tee combines a balanced flow path for two 32 mm runs with a reduced 16 mm outlet to enable controlled diversion and distribution of fluids. Its polypropylene construction ensures resistance to common chemicals found in water and heating circuits and reduces heat loss across the fitting. The product is lightweight and corrosion-free, which simplifies handling and long-term maintenance.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial potable water distribution
• Low-pressure central heating systems and underfloor heating manifolds
• Branching and flow reduction in distribution networks
• Connections within prefabricated manifold assemblies

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP)
• Connection dimensions: 32 mm × 16 mm × 32 mm
• Function: reducing tee for flow diversion and branch reduction
• Suitable media: water and low-pressure heating fluids
• Properties: chemical resistance, low thermal conductivity, corrosion-free

How to use

Install the reducing tee by preparing compatible KAN-therm PP pipes to the specified diameters and joining them using the recommended welding or connection method for PP fittings. Ensure pipe ends are clean and cut squarely before making the joint. Align the 32 mm runs and the 16 mm branch so that flow direction and manifold layout correspond to the system design. After joining, verify the integrity of connections and pressure-test the system in accordance with applicable regulations and installer guidance.

Usage recommendations

Use this reducing tee only with compatible polypropylene piping and follow KAN-therm installation instructions. Avoid exposure to chemicals outside the product’s chemical resistance range and do not exceed the system’s designed pressure and temperature limits. For reliable operation in heating systems, perform appropriate pressure testing and thermal cycling checks after installation.
